This ofcourse is my most frequently used one.

Other ones I use...

I'll read Sons of Sam Horn every GREAT once in a while, but honestly I don't keep up with any other message boards.

I go there every now and then just to see what people have to say. I haven't had a chance lately though.

One of the reasons I like Usenet is that it's not cluttered with all the graphics and stuff that other boards are. That's also one of the things I like about GreekChat :). Besides, there's a board for everything on usenet. I don't post on there often, but I read a lot.

GRACIAS!

ms_gwyn 05-13-2005 04:47 PM

to tell you the truth this is really the only messageboard that I visit, but the others that I stop by in terms of

games

Unforums - Alternate Reality Gaming Forum

Kingdom Of Loathing - Internet based game, very fun!

Radio KOL - internet radio station for the above game

these are the ones that I frequent the most

AGDee 05-13-2005 10:19 PM

Google organizes and archives the same newsgroups you find on usenet, just to clarify. You can also get to them through Outlook if you use that, but there are probably more available using Google. There are also special newsgroup reader programs out there, but they aren't necessary. There's a news group for just about anything!

AOIIalum 05-14-2005 08:38 AM

The joy of Usenet is that unless you join a binary group, it's just words. No fonts, no HTML, no graphics, just text. Mozilla Thunderbird is an outstanding (and FREE) newsreader. I've been using it since I converted to Firefox and like it so much more than the Microsoft newsreaders.

Contact your ISP to get the address of your news server if you'd like to try that option instead of Google. Most ISPs--but not all--offer Usenet access at no additional charge. I'm not a fan of the Google version as it's web based, but it's a good backup if your ISP Usenet server is down. There's also supernews (www.supernews.com), but I think that's a subscription vehicle.

As Dee said, there's a newsgroup for just about everything, and we mean everything. I've currently got 14 subscribed newsgroups, but that will go down after the AI and Survivor seasons end. I've been known to post to alt.sports.college.sec.kentucky, alt.tv.alias, & alt.gossip.celebrities once in a while. I've also been known to post and actually write the FAQ for alt.music.cheap-trick, not that it's been updated in a couple of years.

Bumping because I want more suggestions of places to hang out when GC is having a slow day.

Help me feed my forum addiction.

Dionysus 06-04-2006 09:38 PM

TwoP, I usually lurk, but rarely post.

A couple of other message boards - either I was banned from them or it isn't anyone's business.

Drolefille 06-04-2006 09:54 PM

lol, I've been to TWoP but I prefer to read the recaps rather than the forums... I'm not as obsessed with Gilmore Girls and House:eek: as I am with GC...

Keep 'em coming

tld221 06-04-2006 11:44 PM

i used to read arstechnica. totally geeky computer/techie site on recommendation of a friend, and i found it really entertaining. one poster wrote all of his romantic encounters in a first-person type action story with military jargon (i'm at a loss as to describing it).

what else do i read? my sorority MB, but a lot more before i became a member. and this greekpeeps MB, which im trying to feel out, see what its like.

JonInKC 06-05-2006 12:55 AM

The Bullshido forum - making fun of McDojos and wanna-be Ninjas like the infamous Ashida Kim. Very witty posters. Lots of funny photos and cool videos.

Fighting Arts Talking about pretty much every mainstream martial art, more serious. Doesn't tolerate much sillyness. Former administrator used to be in my judo class and told me about it.

Wrestlecrap Smarks (smart marks) poking fun at some of the worst wrestling gimmicks in history as well as being critical of today's stars. Lots of hilarity.
